Study Summary

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare, severely disabling disease characterized by painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups) that result in abnormal bone formation in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Flare-ups begin early in life and may occur spontaneously or after soft tissue trauma, vaccinations, or influenza infections. Recurrent flare-ups progressively restrict movement by locking joints leading to cumulative loss of function and disability. Mouse models of FOP have demonstrated the ability of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) gamma agonists to prevent heterotopic ossification (HO) following injury. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether palovarotene, an RAR gamma agonist, will prevent HO during and following a flare-up in subjects with FOP.

Primary Outcome

A responder was defined as a subject with no or minimal new heterotopic ossification (HO) at flare-up site versus baseline as assessed by plain radiographs at Week 6. Minimal new HO is defined as new HO with an HO score \<=3 in both anterior/posterior (AP) and lateral projections (or if one view is non-interpretable or non-evaluable, then remaining evaluable view is used). The HO score ranges from 0 to 6 where, 0 = no HO and 6 = single contiguous HO with longest dimension \>2 diameters of refere
